Nike has changed the launch date to January 26th. The shoe will still be sold on its SNKRS app. Check out the final product here.
Read the original story below.
In mid-December rapper and Nike ambassador Kendrick Lamar posted on Instagram a red and white Nike Cortez sneaker customized with a lace detauk reading “don’t trip” plus Chinese characters along the shoe’s upper that translate to the word “damn,” a reference to the name of his widely praised album, which dropped in April 2017.
Subsequently, Nike confirmed it will drop a shoe with Lamar though it will be different than the one teased by Lamar. From what we can see, the shoe will feature a white leather upper and the word DAMN on the shoe’s tongue.
While quantities haven’t been confirmed, the silhouette will drop on Sunday January 28th at 7:30 PM EST, in sync with the Grammy Awards. The event is meaningful for Lamar because his album DAMN is nominated for seven awards, including album of the year.
Priced at $100, the shoes will be sold exclusively on Nike’s SNKRS app.
